Why not offer this Fire TV Stick for free (or heavily discounted) when signing up for a 1 year Prime Membership????

They could easily protect themselves from early cancellations (as people do with free/cheap Cell phones) by stating that if you decide to later cancel your Prime membership, then you will be charged a fee for the Fire TV Stick.

They'd increase the subscriber base for Prime Video, as well as lock-in both intended as well as impulse purchases for folks who'd likely use Amazon for the convenience of Same-Day/Next-Day/Two-Day shipping rather than heading out to the stores.

I'm on a Prime 30-Day Trial at the moment, with no plans to renew....but for $80/year + a Fire TV Stick I'd sign up without hesitation.

My American TCL ROku TV won't let me downlaod the Amazon Prime app and neither will my SOny Blu-ray player. If I airplay it through my iPad it doesn;t airplay in 4k. ANyone has advice on how to get Amazon Prime 4k in` canada?

For those who plan on buying the US model on Black Friday and have it shipped to an American address (or plan on taking a drive to the States) - here's a screenshot of the US Staples Black Friday 2017 flyer page - I can only assume Amazon.com will have similar pricing:

Same price at target and bestbuy, I presume Walmart and amazon will have the same price.

So I have a 1st gen Amazon Fire TV and 1st gen Firestick. Both US based of course.

Just installed the Amazon Fire TV apps on my iPhone and Android. Both work well with the Fire TV. Haven't tried with the older Fire Stick yet but I imagine it won't be an issue.

Grabbed Amazon Prime Video and I can stream to my Fire TV via my Android phone (there's a button that says stream to Fire TV right there in the app) but can't for the life of me do it via the iPhone. I can select to cast it to my Apple TV but nothing mentioning the Fire TV or stick (the stick is unplugged so that should be obvious anyway.)

Will wait a day to see if there's any news regarding getting Amazon Video Canada to directly play on the Fire TV but happy it has more functionality than before. Definitely picking up something to replace the Fire Stick in the bedroom and might even grab the Canada Fire Stick to see how it works with Canada Content.

Love my Fire TV's and though it's a bit of a pain to setup Kodi, they seem to play well and I have no qualms about recommending them. Do wish the content was more geared to us since I'm tired of all the US junk they push out on it but for it's intended usage, Kodi, Terranium and NetFlix before I bought 4k Smart TV's, it's been great.

Excited to see better Canadian integration and thanks op for letting me know it was now available in Canada. Will likely get one just to check out. Hope they have a good Black Friday deal for them.

I would assume the $69.99 USD Fire TV 4K would be a better choice for Kodi use, due to 2GB of RAM and a better processor? Might pick one up on Black Friday from a site that ships to Canada.

Yeah, I'm sure they will be however a lot depends on Canadian content. Not sure the US based ones will ever play nice with Canadian stuff. Also, unless you have a lot of personally ripped 4k content, not sure you'll get much use of 4K in Kodi. NetFlix and YouTube but not Kodi for a while. Just not enough 4k content out there at the moment. The sizes are just too big atm.

I'm more interested in the 2GB of RAM in a small form factor to side load KODI onto....my GNP sometimes buffers/lags trying to run Kodi.
Plus, I'd like a small device to run Kodi in my bedroom.
